Description
1897 Half Dollar, PR68
Beautiful One-Sided Cameo
1897 50C PR68 NGC. Ex: Pittman. Full cameo contrast adorns
the obverse of this high-end Superb Gem, though the reverse is a
bit too deeply toned to qualify for the designation from NGC. The
obverse portrait is largely free of color, while the mirrored
fields display deeper hues of lavender, ocean-blue, and
orange-lavender. The reverse is awash in concentric rings of
mint-green, royal-blue, and deep violet around a sun-gold core.
Surface blemishes are seemingly nonexistent, and the design
elements are boldly impressed. The Mint struck 731 proof half
dollars in 1897, but the majority of extant pieces grade at or
below the Gem level. This piece is one of only seven non-Cameo
coins certified as PR68 at NGC, with none numerically finer
(11/14).From The Free Tilly Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
